Hi,

I have noticed my server is having increasingly high server load, I run top and get the following info....

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
5876 nobody 18 0 3276 3276 1204 S 15.5 0.6 0:00 topic.cgi
5871 nobody 12 0 3476 3476 1376 S 3.8 0.6 0:00 index.pl

I am guessing that these process' are part of Ikonboard or something similar, how can I trace these and find out which account they are coming from?

Also is there any way I can tweak my server to make cg scripts less intensive?

Cheers

when in top press the letter c, it will show you more information. If you are on a cpanel server there is a program in /scripts/simpleps which will show you the path to scripts.

usually top has the user name of the person running the script, in this case the user is nobody which doesnt help much. You should be able to use:
locate filename.pl
and then track it down from there.
